Hi,



In Ardent Mages main quest, you get 2 Athesi Zealot and in necrophages main quest you get 4 necrophage units as quest rewards. I upgraded the template for this units and retrofitted all my armies, but for some reason this units didn't retrofit.



I understand that minor faction units didn't, except if you have this faction assimilated and can modify the template (I didn't try if it works).



I'm not sure why it is happening or if it is done on purpose. Can you calrify somethig about it?

And if it's the way it should work, explain something in FAQ or anywhere else to avoid future questioning?

I think they are considered mercenaries.



Look at the portraits, if you see the split helmet/dust icon, this designates them as mercenaries.

The EL retrofitting function only works when you're upgrading a unit from one version of itself to a later version of itself. Units spawned in by quests are their own (hidden) unit design, not the ones you've put in your list. They need to be this way, because you might not have unlocked the relevant unit, or your might not have the gear those units come with, or perhaps you're well past that, but the rewards is meant to be weaker for whatever reason.



The end result is that they're a retrofitting dead-end, and can't be upgraded. They can still gain levels, though, so they'll be useful for at least a few turns and maybe an era or two.

Okk I see the thing.

Thanks for clarifying it.
